I have a start time and end time in my smartsheet but need to calculate hours worked. Has anyone used a formula before to do this? if so can you pass along?
so I figured out the issue, I was missing a bracket. I have also condensed the formula down since I do not need start and end dates.
No I need to figure out how to set that formula to be used in every cell for that column by default. I tried using a Managed Workflow.
But when it is added, I get this result:
Notice the punctuation mark at the beginning, this gets added by the system so the text is not treated as a formula.
Hi @MSGFreebird
I hope you're well and safe!
Unfortunately, you can't use the change cell value action to add formulas.
You could convert the formula to a Column Formula so it's automatically added to all rows.
Did that work/help?
I hope that helps!
Be safe, and have a fantastic week!

Please submit this as a Product Feedback or Idea (If it hasn't been added already) when you have a moment.
@MSGFreebird You are going to need to right click on a cell containing the formula and then select "Convert to column formula" (near the bottom of the menu).
